He lives in Mexico to oversee the business.Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston.Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing.We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us!My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging!I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends.Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home.I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

My Visitors

Thursday, July 8, 2010

We have been fortunate this week to have all three of our sons together... even though it was only for a couple of hours. Left to right are:

Ryan (youngest) who works for Coldwell Banker, Lance (oldest), who is our business partner and runs our Mexico farming operation, and Daren (middle) who is the national sales representative for a pathology lab in California.

Lance and Daren are both married. Lance is the father of our two grandchildren. Daren is the owner of our two "granddogs" -- both Great Danes. Ryan is not married... yet.

That handsome guy on the far right is my husband who is a fine husband and dad!

I was sort of pouting yesterday because bad weather had kept Daren from arriving here until too late at night for us to be together.

We did have a nice breakfast and visit the next thoughbefore Lance had to head to the airport to fly back to Mexico.

It was a fluke that Lance and Daren were both here on business so schedules were beyond their control.

Thank goodness I took a picture of this beautiful sky yesterday. I didn't realize until now that God was telling me that I needed to appreciate more the two hours the family was together. It had been almost a year and half since the last time we gathered... which was on the occasion of my father's passing.

How wonderful to have them all together if only for 2 hours. It's been several years since I've had all of mine together. That makes it so hard. Great picture. Praise God for arranging even a couple of hours. Hugs, Marty

Karen: Love that photo! After growing up in the same city where almost all of my relatives lived, it has been hard to have our two sons and their wives so far away--one in California, the other in Mass. We treasure the time we get to spend with them.

We do have ac. I don't think I could ever do without. My friends and I did enjoy a three-hour lunch at an air conditioned restaurant. While we kept cool, a storm raged outside and things have cooled down. I'll need to be reminded of my discomfort when the winter winds blow!!
